sxrsil3nt's, This is only my two cents. I looked all over for replacement headlights. Even looked at those ones from the ebay link on here. I also read many reviews for "aftermarket" headlights. I honestly did not find many reviews that were positive regarding aftermarket headlights (hid's). Some leaked water, others stuck out from the body (not flush), wiring issues etc. And for the price one has to pay for those aftermarket headlights, it just wasn't sounding too good to me.
I ended up purchasing stock replacement headlights. My original ones were doing the same as yours (yellowing, scratched etc) They just weren't that bright anymore. (And I need to see at night....I'm getting old. LOL)
What a huge difference they made. At least in my opinion. And they were a whole lot cheaper too. Enough so, that I was also able to also replace my fog lights with original equipment. The new headlights helped a lot, and with the new fog lights, made it three or four times brighter. It's not uncommon for me to have someone flash their brights at me at night, only to find out I DON'T HAVE MY BRIGHTS ON YOU IDIOTS, when I flash My brights back at them. DOH!!!
I went through these guys http://www.1aauto.com/ and have had no problems with them. They even have a video that shows you how to remove and replace your headlights (if you need it). They're shipping is fast. For OEM replacement parts I will go with these guys....hands down.
And like I said. You can pretty much get brand new headlights AND fog lights for the same price as HIDS. They may not have the Cool effect factor, but what the hell. They're better than the dingy yellow ones I had.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my two cents.
Let us know what you decide.

I agree
I agree with you I don’t want to rewire my lights, new clear lenses are fine and I also want the new lenses to fit well and no water leaking into the lenses like the cheap ones do.
I did get some aftermarket tail lights and they don’t fit all that well and the bulbs don’t fit tight and drop out the back on me a few times witch also means water can get inside easy they look good but not a good fit the way I fixed it was tie raps to keep them in place that does suck though.
But just my opinion to each his own

Thanks for the input ibcnul8r and 98DAKAZ. I was just interested in how people with aftermarket headlights thought of them. I love the look of those lights on URBANRDNECK's truck it looks mean as hell. To me they look flush but then again I hear about aftermarket stuff never fitting properly and can just turn out to be a nightmare.
The only thing I wanna try to avoid is buying another pair of OEM headlights only to have them crack, turn yellow and foggy all over again.
And I love 1aauto!

Yeah I was thinking of the crystal ones but their nearly the same price as the ones that URBANRDNECK has, and IMO i'll still probably run into fitting issues with both so I would want to go with the 1 piece because I like the look a lot more haha.
I'm aware that the halos would require rewiring and yes I'd want to have them running so I would tap into whichever power source was the best.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, I think I'll pick up a pair of those angel eyes there next pay check!
